AZ-900 exam does NOT match learning path provided by Microsoft

I spent many hours last week studying for the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals course. It was advertised as this great certification for people who aren't necessarily technical but want to have a basic understanding of Azure. I've been working in Azure environments for 4+ years and decided to take the learning path provided by Microsoft for the exam : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/certifications/exams/az-900 

As I started to take the exam, I quickly realized that NONE of the information provided in the Learning Path was on the exam. The questions were very specific and did not represent a general understanding of Azure Fundamentals - certainly not for people who aren't technical. The exam feels like an obvious cash grab from Microsoft's side. 

I'm frustrated because the exam cost $100 and several hours to study and prepare for. That's time and money that I cannot get back! Microsoft, do something about this!
